현 화학플랜트에서 사용되고 있는 ABS 수지 응집 공정의 경우 교반기 내부의 불균일한 유동분포와 유동메커니즘의 문제점은 공정 제품의 생산성을 저하 시키는 원인으로 작용하고 있다. 그러나 우수한 성능의 산업용 교반기를 설계하기 위해선 반드시 교반성능에 영향을 미치는 다양한 내부의 유동특성의 정량적인 실험 데이터 확보가 필요하나, 3차원적 비정상 특성을 나타내는 복잡한 구조의 내부 유동특성에 관한 정량적 해석은 현재까지도 상당한 어려운 문제로 남아있다. 이에 이런 문제점을 개선하여 생산성을 향상시키기 위해서는 PIV 기법을 이용한 교반기 내부의 유동분포와 유동메커니즘을 규명하여 교반기 내부의 최적화된 유동을 형성시키는 임펠러의 형상을 개발하고자 한다.

Industrial mixers to homogeneously blend particulate materials have been developed and widely used in various industries. However, most industrial mixers have at most two-degree-of-freedom for the operation, which limits the range of operation parameter selection for optimal blending. This paper proposes a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic mixer designed by converging a conventional drum blender and a robotic manipulator and evaluated its performance in a virtual operating environment. Discrete element simulations were conducted for mixing performance evaluation. The numerical results showed that the proposed mixer design exhibits a better mixing performance than conventional ones.

Recently, mixers are being widely used in the display and semiconductor company in order to mix the chemical materials. The mixer normally consists of shaft, hub, reduction gear, and driving motor. It is one of the key design factors to evaluate the dynamic characteristics caused by the rotation. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of the high speed mixer, such as vibration, noise and thermal radiation, are verified by the experiment. Through the experiment, it is shown that the structural unbalance mass of high speed mixer is the important source of the severe vibrations and maximum temperature is mixer bowl.

MLCC is key parts of many electronic products and mixer is used to make MLCC. Currently, non-contact mixer is increasingly used due to its many merits. In case of large capacity non-contact mixer, function of driving gear is important. In this study, therefore, in order to reduce manufacturing cost through optimal design of driving gear of large capacity non-contact mixer, study on shape optimization of driving gear without excessive design modification was performed. As the results, because safety factors of modification model were decreased about 3.0 ~ 3.5 times compared with those of model with robust design, the possibility for saving manufacturing cost was confirmed.

This study was performed to compare medium characteristics during the composting stage for medium turning performed using an excavator agitator and a prototype medium turner in button mushroom cultivation. The changes in temperature in the medium did not significantly differ between the treatments until the 3rd turn performed using the excavator agitator. However, during the 4th and 5th turns, the temperature increased during turning with the prototype medium turner. During outdoor composting, various types of microorganisms such as thermophilic bacteria (Bacillus spp.), Actinomycetes, fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., and filamentous fungi were found to be distributed in the medium. The counts of aerobic bacteria and fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. did not significantly differ between treatments, and the counts of thermophilic bacteria and thermophilic actinomycetes were slightly higher during turning with the prototype medium turner. The rice straw was slightly shorter and water content lower for the prototype medium turner. There was no significant difference between pH and EC treatments. The L, a, and b values tended to increase on turning with the prototype medium turner.

An electrolytic system (zinc anode-gallium cathode) was setup to evaluate the performance of several stirrers prepared for this study, where stirrers have been used to prevent uranium from forming dendrite on the cathode in pyrochemical process. In the case of no-stirring condition, zinc dendrites began to grow on the gallium surface in 1 hour and some dendrite grew out of the cathode crucible around 6 hours. When a rectangular stirrer or a tilt stirrer was rotated, at 40${\sim}$150 rpm, to mix the liquid gallium cathode, dendritic growth of zinc metal was prevented irrespective of revolution speed, but some of the deposits overflowed out of the cathode crucible owing to the large centrifugal forces at 150 rpm. The harrow stirrer did not nearly retard the dendrite growth at 40 rpm, but the dendrite growth was retarded at higher than 100 rpm and the zinc deposits also did not overflow at 150 rpm. Pounder could also prevent the dendrite growth to some extent but it had some difficulties in operation compared with other types of stirrers.

The physical characteristics of autonomic microcapsules manufactured with various agitation speeds in a stirred tank were observed experimentally by a particle size analyzer and an optical microscope. The flow characteristics in a stirred tank were also investigated through a 3-dimensional numerical simulation to understand the manufacturing process of autonomic microcapsules. According to the results, we found that the agitation speed was the important factor to determine the sizes of microcapsules. The impeller-induced flow allowed the jet and tip-vortex pair components in the mixed fluid of a stirred tank. The vorticity around the blades in the impeller was increased as increasing the agitation speed. In addition, the size of autonomic microcapsules was strongly affected on the small scale mixing pattern such as a tip-vortex pair.
